Marvel Universe 3 3/4″ Series 4 Action Figure Moon Knight
Marvel Universe 3 3/4″ Series 4 Action Figure Moon Knight
No one, not even Moon Knight himself, is really sure whether hes actually the avatar of the ancient god Khonshu, or if hes just crazy. It is without a doubt that he is stronger than the average man, and a far superior fighter to all but the best. He has devoted himself to Khonshu, acting out the Egyptian gods agenda of revenge against criminals from one end of the world to the other. Detailed with defined muscles, put this masked Moon Knight action figure in a battle-ready pose with his staff weapon accessory aimed at the enemy! Fully articulated, hes ready to make a stand in your collection.

4 Stars A really cool-looking toy of a character I don’t really know
This action figure is part of Hasbro’s Marvel Universe line of 3-3/4″ scale superhero toys based on the beloved characters from the pages of Marvel Comics. I like the collection, because the heroes and villains have their classic, timeless costumes with no gimmicky weapons or armor. The toys are very posable for such small figures. (The 3-3/4″ scale matches the scales of the popular Star Wars and DC Universe: Infinite Heroes lines.)
As with other Marvel Universe figures, this Moon Knight toy has articulation in its ankles, knees, hips, abdomen, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck. The figure is made of a relatively durable plastic (different Marvel figures feel different to me), but all of the joints may make it easier for parts to break off if the toy is handled roughly. Moon Knight’s cape is made of a rubbery material and is closed around the figure’s neck. (It won’t come off as long as the head stays on.)
Moon Knight comes with two accessories: a long plastic staff and a tiny crescent-shaped moon dart (or whatever). The moon dart thing is really a cheap accessory. The piece is so small and unspecial that it is almost sure to get lost or forgotten. It looks like a fingernail clipping. Just a little chip of plastic. If you exhale too hard the piece goes flying, and once it falls on the floor you may never find it again. It’s liable to be vacuumed up and gone forever. It will also easily fall to the bottom of a toy chest and be forgotten about.
Only one of Moon Knight’s hands can hold accessories, so the figure can’t hold both the staff and the dart at the same time. The staff looks pretty cool in the figure’s right hand, but there’s nowhere on the figure to stick the moon dart for safe keeping.
But the real draw of this figure is that Moon Knight looks really, really cool. I know absolutely nothing about the character, but thought I’d add Moon Knight to my own Marvel team. He’s so cool-looking that I might try to read up on some of his adventures.
Moon Knight wears an ashen-colored costume, including a mysterious hooded cloak. His face is dark and hidden mysteriously under his hood. I don’t know the character’s special skills and powers, but you could look it up or use your own imagination. I just really like the look of the toy, with the goblin-esque hood and the dramatically flowing cape. I don’t recall hearing about Moon Knight (as I am not a comics reader), but this figure has got me intrigued.
This figure is a nice addition to a 3-3/4″ Marvel collection and should be fun for kids, too. Moon Knight should be a lot of fun for people familiar with the character as well as those who have no idea. The guy looks so cool that I’m sure the uninformed (like myself) can find something to do with him.
The one drawback is the dart accessory. Too small and insignificant. Parents of younger children should be aware that the piece can be easily swallowed and would almost certainly be lost otherwise. But the toy is very cool even without that accessory. Well worth the purchase.
